Trading Cupcakes for Carrots, Y'all!

On my journey to health and fitness, I have discovered these friends:

Fresh Spinach Leaves
Spinach leaves make me very happy.  They make me happiest when they are made into a salad with almonds or walnuts, craisins and a little fat free raspberry vinaigrette salad dressing. However, they make me happy in a wrap or omelet too!

Almonds
I loves me some almonds.  I like them in anything and everything.


Eggs
Can I get an AMEN for the egg?  I love a boiled egg for a snack and I love 1 egg and 2 egg whites for a little scrambled egg deliciousness.  If I'm feeling real adventurous, I'll scramble those muggs and throw them on a couple of pieces of wheat bread with a little fat free mayo for a fancy schmancy egg sandwich. 

Sweet Potatoes
I never knew I could be in love like this. My dear, sweet, sweet potato, I adore you and now that we've built this wonderful relationship, I can never abandon you.  

Green Beans
Before my friend, Jacqui, taught me how to properly make green beans (sauteing those babies!) I wasn't much of a fan.  Now? I can't get enough!

Whole Wheat Bagel Thins
My best friend, Cassie, introduced me to bagel thins this summer while I was visiting her.  She made me the most delicious breakfast sandwich with them and it was instant love but unfortunately it didn't last long.  I forgot about them until recently when I was reunited with these wonderful little creations on aisle 10 at Brookshires.  


Fat Free Vanilla Yogurt
Less is more. Just simple vanilla does the trick.  No need for a fruity flavor.  Vanilla rocks! Throw in some nuts or fresh fruit and I damn near pass out from the fabulousness of it all.

Sobe Life Water

Hi, my name is Dianna and I'm addicted to Sobe Life Water.  That's all.

High Quality H2O
Although it makes me visit the bathroom somewhere close to a trillion times a day, I loves it and prefer it most of the time over anything else. 

There you have it!  

Don't let this deceive you though, I still have old "friends" that I'm trying to break up with.  I'll introduce you to those bastards soon. 

Happy Friday!
